Smallwindows 0.71: Expose for Windows

After trying out programs that emulate OS X's Expose, I finally stumbled upon a free and open source program that does what expose does and does it relatively cleanly on Windows. The application is called Smallwindows and its a rather small program (a little less than 307 KB) and downloading it from sourceforge,net took only a few minutes.


Unlike the original, Smallwindows is activated either by the key combination of [Win]-[F12] or by placing the mouse pointer in the top-middle portion of the monitor. Once activated, the user will see all the open windows a-la OS X's Expose! One gripe though... it doesn't work with the Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator).

Oh, did I mention that the program is totally free? Download it from the link shown above.
